Question: 7 Which component of Instana is responsible for gathering and analyzing application performance metrics? Response: A. Unbounded Analytics B. Trace Collector C. Application Perspectives D. Backend Traces E. Service Maps Answer: C Explanation: The Application Perspectives component in Instana is responsible for gathering and analyzing application performance metrics. It provides detailed insights into the performance of individual applications, including metrics such as response time, throughput, and error rates. Question: 8 Which of the following actions can be performed for troubleshooting in Instana? Choose the correct option(s). Response: A. Analyzing application logs and error messages. B. Debugging application code within Instana's interface. C. Rebooting application servers from the Instana dashboard. D. Capturing and analyzing network traffic for performance issues. Answer: A Explanation: For troubleshooting in Instana, actions such as analyzing application logs and error messages can be performed. However, Instana does not provide the capability to debug application code within its interface, reboot application servers, or capture and analyze network traffic for performance issues. Question: 9 Which integration method is used to collect infrastructure metrics from Kubernetes clusters in Instana? Response: A. Instana Agent B. Instana OneAgent C. Instana Collector D. Instana Kubernetes Operator E. Instana Prometheus Exporter Answer: D Explanation: The Instana Kubernetes Operator is used to collect infrastructure metrics from Kubernetes clusters in Instana. It deploys a dedicated Instana agent within the Kubernetes cluster to collect and transmit metrics related to the cluster's infrastructure, such as CPU usage, memory utilization, and network traffic. Question: 10 Which of the following statements accurately describe Instana Concepts? Choose the correct option(s). Response: A. Instana is a containerized application monitoring solution. B. Instana uses AI-powered analytics to automatically detect and analyze application performance issues. C. Instana supports monitoring of only web applications. D. Instana captures and analyzes network traffic to identify security vulnerabilities. Answer: A, B Explanation: Instana is a containerized application monitoring solution that uses AI-powered analytics to automatically detect and analyze application performance issues. It supports monitoring of various types of applications, including web applications. However, it does not specifically capture and analyze network traffic for security vulnerabilities. Question: 11 Which configuration file is used to define the instrumentation of custom applications in Instana? Response: A. instana.yaml B. agent.properties C. application.json D. backend.properties E. env.properties Answer: A Explanation: The "instana.yaml" configuration file is used to define the instrumentation of custom applications in Instana. It allows you to specify the configuration details for monitoring and tracing specific applications, including the collection of custom metrics and the definition of instrumented frameworks. Question: 12 What is a key operation performed in Instana? Response: A. Collecting and visualizing application performance metrics. B. Generating automated code fixes for application bugs. C. Monitoring and managing database instances. D. Optimizing network routing for improved application performance. Answer: A Explanation: A key operation performed in Instana is collecting and visualizing application performance metrics. It provides insights into various aspects of application performance, but it does not generate automated code fixes, monitor and manage database instances, or optimize network routing.
